How does it workForecasting 2.0

The MO4 service provides the ship bridge with periodic and unrivalled accurate forecasts of the ship motions, in addition to the metocean forecast. The service provides clear decision support for routing and weather sensitive operations. Easy to set up and more cost efficient than any available technology; innovation and workability optimization at your fingertips.

Ship motions are calculated based on detailed wave forecasts (2D spectra) for the vessels’ future waypoints. The calculation algorithm includes a motion sensor feedback loop, is state-of-the-art and has been the result of 3 years of accumulated engineering efforts. Relevant influences of cruising speed, bilge keels, anti-roll devices, free surface tanks and other aspects are meticulously incorporated.

A tailor made results report is sent to the vessel bridge at regular intervals and is made available for the office staff from our server 24/7.

In cooperation with siri marine we have developped a motion-measurement feedback system enabling enhance accuracy and performance.

REFERENCE PROJECT

For Groen shipping company the MOCEAN FORECAST TOOL has enabled the vessel crew to choose the most advantageous ballasting condition for their weather sensitive fuel transfer operations.

Remko of Groen Shipping: “This service truly changed our way of working. We feel more confident and see better workability as a result!”
